NLP is Defence Against the Dark Arts

There are many people selling NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) training. According to Wikipedia, it is already disproven and it is a pseudoscience. Since there are still people practising it, then it must be because the techniques do work, even if they work not because of the original scientific basis as claimed by the inventors. 

NLP can be used to manipulate others, even yourself. It is a tool. Whether it is used for good or evil depends on the person who wields the tool. In the Harry Potter world, Hogwarts School teaches Defence Against the Dark Arts. It's basically teaching high school kids to fight. It is not wrong to learn the tool. Just think about how and why you use it.
